• Tombaugh,
The Royal Astrom
honour recently accorded
Society was delighted to hear of the
by the State University of New
Mexico, Las Cruces, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of
your discovery of Pluto at Lowell Observatory. Many of us saw the
television programme "Sky at Night" when Patrick Moore introduced
you to the British public and in which you recalled the careful
hours of observation and comparison which enabled you to determine
that this was indeed a new planet.
The Ordinary Meeting of the Society on 1980 March 14 was
dedicated to a discussion of planetary observations and Professor
Jack Meadows (University of Leicester) gave a most interesting talk
on "Pluto - 50 years after". On behalf of the Society may we ask
you to accept this presentation copy as a token of your early work
in this field?
